tion of the Democracy of Chicago and Gin

of the most notorious of these thieves, and
in that way may have contributed to the de-

Interesting Experiments.

Two interesting physical expert
ments are amusing French scientific
men. In the first lighted candle is
placed behind 4 bottle. and the latter
is blown upon with the breath from a
distance of about foot. The meeting
of the air currents set in motion
around the bottle quickly extinguishes
the flame, though extinction would be
impossible if fiat board or sheet of
cardboard were substituted for the
bottle. For the second experiment
two bottles are placed on 4 table, with
a space of half an inch between them
The candle is set behind this space.
and from the same distance as before.
on the opposite side, the breath is
blown smartly against the flame. Not
only will the latter continue burning.
but it will incline slightly toward the
operator as if through the effect of
suction. This phenomenon. analogous
to the first, is due to the fact that a
portion of the air can not pass between
the bottles and is forced around them

The testimony relating TO Fieldcn. Spies.
Parsons and the rest of the convicted men
is touched upon under separate heeds. and
in each case the court holds that The evi.
dence justified the finding of the jury. On
the question of Fielden's participe ton in
the conspiracy, the court holds that the
accused should have been an original con.
triver of the mischief, for he might have
become partaker in it by joining the
others while it was being executed.
AS to Neebe the only one of the de.
PENDANTS who escaped the gallows, the
court holds that when a man as promi-
nently connected as he was with the In.
ternationalists, their organ and leaders,
distributed circulars converting the Hay

that the jury were not justified in holding
him responsible with his confederates fol-

by saying that many of the points made

of Thsir BsAeader.
There is Jack-in-the-Pulpit the fow-
er of the plant known as Indian turnip
(Aris@ma triphyllum); who could ever
look at one of these singular blossoms
without that same stirring of the risi-
BILE faculties which one experiences in
perusing a parody or caricature. or
witnessing pantomine? The very
sight of one is provocative of mirth.

ical flowers, suggestive of an old lady's
head in a night-cap. The well-known
fly-trap Oionaa muscipula) strikes the
mind with all the effect of joke. The
leaves of this plant are fringed with
stiff bristles, and fold together when
certain hairs on their upper surface are
touched. thus Selling insects that light
on them. Seeing the leaf stand tempt
ingly open, poor fly pops in for shell
ter or food. No sooner has it touched
its feet than some sensitive fibers are
affected. and the ella at the top closes
in upon the intruder. imprisoning him
as effectually as if a boy had taken and
closed him in a box. The pitcher-plant
or monkey-cap of the East. although
not particularly ludicrous. has whim-
steal arrangement which borders close
ly upon the human economy. To the
foot-stalks of each leaf of this plant.
near the base, is attached a
kind of bag. shaped like a pitcher.
of the same consistence and color
as the leaf in the earlier state of its
growth, but changing with age to a
reddish purple. 1t is girt around with
an obliqLe band or hoop, and covered
with lid neatly fitted. and movable
on kind of hinge or strong fiber,
which. passing over the handle. con-
meets the vessel with the leaf. BY the
shrinking or contracting of this fiber
the lid is drawn open whenever the
weather is shadowy or damp. When
sufficient moisture has fallen and the
pitcher saturated. the cover falls down
so firmly that evaporation can not en-
sue. The water is thus gradually
absorbed through the handle in the
footstalk of the leaf. giving sustenance
and vigor to the plant. As soon as the
pitchers are exhausted. the lids again
open to admit whatever moisture may
fall; and when the plant has produced
its seed, and the dry season fairly sets
in, it withers. with all the covers of
the pitchers standing open. The
flower of the bee orchis is like piece
Of honeycomb. and the bees delight in
it. Then there is the snap dragon, the
corolla of which is cleft, and turned
back so as to look like a rabbits
mouth. especially if pinched on the
sides. when the animal appears as if
nibbling. The flower of the cocks
comb and the seed pod of the Mostynia
proboscidea bear curious resemblance
to the objects which have suggested
their names. Some kinds Of the men,
dicago have also curious seed pods,
some being like bee hives. some like
caterpillars, and some like hedgehogs
the last being itself an essentially
ludicrous object.-Fvoral Cabinet.
